(Reference: Maritime Connector)

The offshore industry primarily comprises of two industries - the offshore oil
and gas industry and the offshore renewable wind energy industry. The
offshore oil and gas exploration and production industry offers a wide range of
occupations for both entry-level and experienced professionals. Offshore
occupations are very challenging and may demand working long hours in
difficult conditions, but the rewards are great in comparison to onshore jobs.
Shift work forms an integral part of almost all types of offshore jobs, which
usually means working offshore for 14 days followed by a rest period onshore
for the next 14 days. Offshore crew normally works in 12-hours shifts. They
are well trained in safety and environmental regulations to ensure the safety
and protection of oil rigs and the people working there.

Offshore occupations can broadly be classified into four categories that

include exploration, design and construction, installation, and operations
and management. Offshore professionals are employed to work on an
offshore installation such as oil platforms. Offshore occupations include
different levels of emplacements in the fields of production, drilling, rigging,
